| 0:00.0 | Hi everyone, my name is Kea and I'm the director of Dr. Mark Hyman's brand new longevity road map |
| 0:05.3 | docu-series. I'm so excited to give you a sneak peek of episode 5 today on the doctor's pharmacy. |
| 0:11.6 | In today's episode, Dr. Hyman and his team at the Ultra Wellness Center dive deep into brain |
| 0:16.2 | health and preventing Alzheimer's and dementia. They also dive into the world of brain optimization |
| 0:21.4 | and neutropics. Folks in your 20s, 30s and 40s listen up. The stuff is important as studies are |
| 0:26.7 | showing that changes in the brain happen 20 to 30 years before a diagnosis of Alzheimer's or |
| 0:32.1 | dementia. Here are the first 15 minutes of episode 5. |
| 0:47.0 | Today we're going to discuss one of my favorite topics, brain health. Now when you ask most people |
| 0:52.7 | what they fear when it comes to aging, pretty much everyone says the same. They're scared of losing |
| 0:58.0 | their executive function. They're ability to think and remember, they're ability to focus and |

| 1:20.9 | or dementia. Over 5 million Americans are struggling with Alzheimer's and changes can be found in your |
| 1:28.2 | brain sometimes 20, 30 or 40 years before a diagnosis of dementia occurs. This means that we have a |
| 1:35.2 | lot of time to heal our brains before we get into trouble. Now most of us know we can prevent heart |
| 1:40.4 | disease by living in healthier lifestyle, but are you aware that the same is true of our brains? |
| 1:45.8 | Not many people are talking about how to live a brain healthy life. Now remember that unified |
| 1:52.8 | theory of aging? The problem of insulin resistance caused by too much starch and sugar? |
| 1:58.4 | Well it applies to the brain too. In fact, scientists now refer to Alzheimer's as type 3 diabetes |
| 2:05.9 | or diabetes of the brain. We know that diabetics have four times the risk of getting dementia, |
| 2:11.5 | and that even pre-diabetes can lead to pre-dimension. Researchers are exploring and I have seen in my |
